Reproductive decision-making is sacred. Reproductive freedom is religious freedom. People of faith protect the freedom to choose.

"Harrison, a Catholic doula who supports people through their abortions, has held the hands of, prayed with, and advocated for people getting abortions. When the quilt finally saw the bright Roman sunlight, she cried knowing whom it was for."

🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Today, the Supreme Court ruled to dismiss the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA case brought by anti-abortion zealots in an attempt to further restrict medication abortion care and undermine the FDA’s authority. allaboveall.org/updates/all-…

Mifepristone is safe, effective, and has been used for over twenty years. The Supreme Court must reject this baseless case against mifepristone and protect medication abortion!

Today is the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade and the most important thing to understand is that abortion did not start with Roe’s passage and abortion has not stopped since Roe fell.

📢 Abortion access is an economic issue!
Bans and restrictions disproportionately affect low-income people, who have less access to funds needed to travel to access abortion care. Carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term can push people deeper into poverty.

Abortion decisions are deeply personal, influenced by individual circumstances and beliefs. Religious overreach in politics marginalizes those with different views and experiences.

Safe abortion is a human rights and public health imperative. People must be able to access abortion, when their LIVES are at risk, but extreme bans are forcing hospitals to turn away patients experiencing obstetric emergencies.

Modeling a hypothetical nationwide abortion ban, researchers observed a 21% projected increase in pregnancy-related deaths, with an even more terrifying 33% projected increase for Black people.
📢 Abortion bans are dangerous, racist, and unacceptable!

Experts say that real numbers will be even more difficult to get going forward because those with resources to do so are traveling outside their state, and others have been able to self-manage abortions. buff.ly/3PrXd3d

The US is closer than ever to an over-the-counter birth control pill, thanks to a unanimous vote of support by FDA advisory panel members.

“Restricting access to abortion does not reduce the number of procedures and only drives [people] towards unsafe ones and also death," said WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus. "Ultimately, access to safe abortion is healthcare that saves lives.”
